My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I’m Oreo, a 10-month-old Australian Cattle Dog with a heart full of love & a tail that’s always wagging. I’m a playful, energetic pup who’s ready for fun, adventure, & lots of cuddles (once I’m done running around, of course)! If you’re looking for a sweet, happy-go-lucky dog to join your family, I might just be the perfect match. I love staying active, so I’ll need a big backyard where I can run, play, & burn off all my puppy energy. I’m all about balls, frisbees, squeaky toys, & bones, so let’s have some fun together! I also love going on walks & exploring new places. Just be warned, I might pull on the leash a little—I’m just so excited to get moving, but I’m a quick learner, & I’m super motivated by treats like peanut butter or bacon (yum!).

I’m housebroken & know a couple of commands like “sit” and “paw” (I’m already pretty good at those), but I’m still working on my leash manners & other training. With your help, I know I can keep getting better & better! Curious by nature, I’m interested in everything around me, including cats. I’ve never been aggressive with them, so if you have a dog-savvy cat, I think we could get along just fine. I might be a little too enthusiastic at first, though, so a slow introduction would be best. I’m also house trained & crate trained!

My former owner said I’d probably do great with horses & other livestock in an open space, but they’re not sure about chickens. I’ve never met any, so I’m not sure what I’d think of them yet. I haven’t spent a lot of time with young kids, but I’m a high-energy dog, so I’d do best with kids aged 8+. I love attention, & sometimes that means I might jump up to say hello, but that’s just me being excited to meet you! If you’re looking for a sweet, energetic pup to join your adventures, I’d love to meet you!

More about this shelter

In August of 2015, the Idaho Falls community realized its dream of opening a second animal sheltering facility. Unlike other animal shelters, the Snake River Animal Shelter (SRAS) will provide an animal an unlimited length of stay, thus avoiding the need for euthanasia.

SRAS was built to take owner surrenders and transfer animals from other shelters throughout the Upper Snake River Valley, thus relieving overcrowding at the city operated animal shelters throughout East Idaho. We operate solely on donations, grants and sponsorships from businesses and individuals. This unique place offers adoption services and a place for the animals to socialize with each other and their future families. Education is a large part of the existence of this facility, educating the community about proper pet care and responsibilities. We also facilitate and partner in spay and neuter programs to alleviate the problem of too many unwanted domestic animals. Snake River Animal Shelter offers Elementary-age field trips, tours, and presentations and invites teens to participate in the care and feeding of the SRAS animals. Senior citizens are welcome guests and fulfill many volunteer positions that are essential for the care of our animals.
